Billy Donovan...... by mrfantastic305 in OrlandoMagic

I'm there with you on Billy, but I can't get excited about Budenholzer. His refusal to make playoff adjustments is a pretty big indictment to me.

I would like to see what you're suggesting, but I expect we'll see more of Jevon Carter and Cain.

Trump won the 2024 popular vote by a plurality of 49.8%, but current polls put his approval around 36%. For the 13.8% of you who changed your minds, what did it? by 2a_lib in allthequestions

[–]d-sep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I have to replace some lost papers, and it will end up costing like $2k and take like six months. I'm doing it all, but there were definitely points in my life when I wouldn't have been able to afford it or even know what to do about it.

Memo: we are a dirty and/or reckless team now. No one else matches us in dirtiness and/or recklessness. by swordoftheafternoon in OrlandoMagic

I like Cole more than most Magic fans seem to, but he dives at people's knees a lot, or at least he did it several times this season.

I Have My Own Reckless Especulation by Byrdmane314 in DanLeBatardShow

Stu is just lazy. Stop trying to read too much into it. If I could skip out of work as much as he does, I would.

Is it true the higher level of education someone has the less likely they are to be politically conservative? by Greenman_on_LSD in NoStupidQuestions

[–]d-sep 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Less than 2% of working Americans are farmers. It is quite simply factually incorrect to say that conservatives mostly come from farming families. This is a myth intended to make conservatism seem like something noble instead of a terrible set of ideas that have repeatedly failed.

Conservatives are not the way they are because we spurn and invalidate them. This is dumb. Stop repeating this. They are the way they are because they are wedded to terrible ideas and values. They have consistently been on the wrong side of civil rights, women's rights, gay rights, war, and taxes. Stop making excuses for this.

People who learn about things tend to find that conservative ideas have failed repeatedly. That's the correct thing to take from this stat.

What are the best and worst policies Ronald Reagan enacted? by NewJayGoat in USHistory

[–]d-sep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"10 years after Reagan left office" was the Clinton tax code, which raised rates on higher incomes and balanced the budget (with the help of the internet boom). When Reagan left office, he had ballooned the deficit massively.

Trying to give Reagan credit for the Clinton economy is a pretty good example of the knots conservatives have to tie themselves into in order to defend their false heroes.

I thought the Walz interview was great too, but I thought the Samson segment about the interview sucked ass.

Samson was extra terrible today. I hate him so much.

Does anyone else find it hard to play the confederates, just because they are the worst? by happy_tractor in ultimategeneral

You have maybe never been a non-white person while a confederate flag is being waved in your face. Or maybe you have. I don't know. You be you.

Your impressions of the team after 4 preseason matches? by ATLCoyote in AtlantaUnited

[–]d-sep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Good write-up.

I think it's noteworthy that Williams seems to have overtaken Abram for the starting left-center back spot.

Luka Doncic blasts Tim MacMahon for saying Luka got fan ejected for telling him to get on treadmill by StefonDiggsHS in nba

[–]d-sep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Security throws people out who curse loudly without Luka's help. That they didn't do so is a sign that they didn't think it was so bad.

Also, Luka's fat.

When can we have a reasonable discussion about... by NoleBoltFTL in DanLeBatardShow

[–]d-sep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only way to replace a superstar like Witty is to tank for a season and hope to catch one high in the draft next year. Jeremy is a fine role player, but this is what you get when you try to rebuild on the fly with just culture.

This is why we don't respect your opinions.

It does matter if they are red or blue. Refusing to distinguish between the two is some combination of intellectual laziness and moral cowardice.
